This paper presents an overview of common-centroid (CC) layout styles, used in analog
designs to overcome the impact of systematic variations. CC layouts must be carefully …

Routing techniques for analog and radio-frequency (A/RF) integrated circuit (IC) design
automation have been proposed in the literature for over three decades. On those, an …

Recent advances in auto-generating analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuits use standard
digital tool flows to compose AMS circuits from a combination of digital standard cells and a …

Placement is a critical step in layout automation for analog and mixed-signal (AMS)-
integrated circuits (ICs). It determines the proximity of devices and influences the wiring …

In analog circuits, process variation can cause unpredictability in circuit performance.
Common-centroid (CC) type layouts have been shown to mitigate process-induced …

The design of active array structures in analog circuits requires careful matching to minimize
the impact of variations. This work presents a constructive approach for building these arrays …

Building upon recent advances in analog electronic design automation (EDA), this paper
discusses directions for reinforcing the connection between design and EDA, in order to …

Analog circuit performance can degrade due to random and spatial variations. While
random variations can be mitigated using larger-sized devices, such devices tend to have …

The ALIGN (Analog Layout, Intelligently Generated from Netlists) project [1, 2] is a joint
university-industry effort to push the envelope of automated analog layout through a …

Arrays of active and passive devices are widely employed to translate large transistor sizes
from a circuit schematic to their layout implementation. For example, capacitive digital-to …
